The most likely cause for a malfunctioning
system is a dirty sensor (located behind
the hood grille), especially at times of snow
and ice or heavy rain. In such a case,
Distronic will switch off, and the message
DISTRONIC CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE SEE
OPERATORS MANUAL appears in the multi-
function display.
Turns and bends
Distronic regulates only the distance be-
tween your vehicle and those directly ahead
of it, but does not register stationary objects
in the road, e.g.:
ț
ț
ț
a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam
a disabled vehicle
an oncoming vehicle
For cleaning and care of the Distronic sen-
sor, see “Cleaning the Distronic* system
sensor cover” (୴ page 322).
The driver must always be on the alert, ob-
serve all traffic and intercede as required by
steering or braking the vehicle.
In turns or bends, Distronic may not detect
a moving vehicle in front, or it may detect
one too soon. This may cause your vehicle
to brake late or unexpectedly.
